Public bug reported: Hi. This isn't actually a bug, just something I thought Ubuntu could benefit from.
addrepo (to be used from command line): "I wrote this really useful BASH script I'm including that I think everyone could benefit from. It's called 'addrepo,' Basically, it just makes the adding of new repositories extremely simple. Here's the output if you run it without any arguments, which explains how to use it: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ addrepo addrepo is a simple command line interface for easily adding APT repositories to your sources.list Usage: addrepo [repository] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Then of course you just replace '[repository]' with a repository name (e.g. addrepo deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free). It already includes 'sudo,' so adding sudo before you enter the command is not necessary. To add this script to your current system, just run the following commands: sudo wget http://mac4deb.googlepages.com/addrepo -O /usr/bin/addrepo sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/addrepo" gkrepo (to be used with a keyboard shortcut or alt+F2): "I just quickly wrote an alternate version called 'gkrepo.' Basically, it does the same thing as addrepo, but uses gksudo and some zenity dialogs. If gkrepo is entered without any arguments, it will prompt for a repository name. If gkrepo is entered with arguments, it will assume that the given arguments are the repository name. If not, a zenity dialog will prompt for the name. Afterwards, it will verify whether or not the repository name entered is valid (whether or not it begins with "deb"). If the repository name is valid, it will use gksudo to prompt fro a password, add the repository to the user's sources.list file, and notify the user that the repository has been added. To add gkrepo to your current system, just enter the following commands: sudo wget http://mac4deb.googlepages.com/gkrepo -O /usr/bin/gkrepo sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/gkrepo" Screenshots of gkrepo: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=58041&d=1201673426 http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=58042&d=1201673426 http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=58047&d=1201673609 http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=58048&d=1201673609 ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Hi.
